Good taste isn't something you can teach — but you can surround yourself with people who have it in abundance. These are the stylists whose homes we want to sit in, whose shelves we'd study for hours. We asked them each to pick their favorites from our collection, and then we got out of the way.
Some people just have it. Christopher Winn is one of them. A stylist whose eye we trust completely, he's been a friend of ours for years — and the person we'd call if we needed to know whether something was right or not. Here's what caught his eye.
"I’m currently sleepless dreaming about the custom paint color options I want on the interior of this dream boat. I’m vacillating between six color options currently. 2026 goals to narrow further. I love the personality that this piece provides. It’s the kinda piece that makes a room feel more soulful and a house more a home.
Maybe not paint, possibly wallpaper for the inside - - I can not."
"I’m an organism at my core. I love reimagining objects… it’s a core style theme for me.
I adore these Cheese Pot and use them at my desk to hold…well EVERYTHING: Scissors, pens, highlighters, elastics, binder clips etc. They elevate the everyday office supplies (I can provide photo receipts if necessary)."
And We Break Our Own Hearts | Jefferson Hayman
" Laurie introduced me to Jefferson Heyman and I got to spend a VERY foggy/rainy San francisco day with him. I love how in his art he plays with scale. His pieces really draw you in. Anyone (me included) would love to have one of his pieces to grace their wall."
Grande Louis Philippe Mirror With Red Clay Bole
"Currently requesting a Go-Fund- Me?! I have the perfect spot for this oversized mirror in my bathroom. I love the patina and finishing details.
Mirrors add SO much dimension and would be a perfect counterpoint to the bead and batten and floating clawfoot tub in my (borderline cottage core) light filled attic apartment."
LIFE AND WORK | Malene Birger's Life In Pictures
"I will never stop buying books. Despite having moved a few time across the country…while books can be burdensome.. they also function as art, and act as pedestals for treasured objects. Who needs silly instagram when you have the magic of Malene Bergers, LIFE and Work at the top of your stack?"
"Hooks reside at the intersection of art and practicality. I have hooks all over my apartment. I once left an old denim shirt hung on a hook for two weeks cause I thought it was SO beautiful the way it made my denim shirt drape. YES, hooks are a place to leave items you want to grab quickly, but they can be SO much more. They turn the practical into still life art forms."
Ellis Striped Linen Pillow Cover
"My Rescue dog Jasper likes textiles. We both do, but he really likes them. Downy pillow, cozy throw, linen duvet…he has free reign cause his comfort is king.
These stripes would look great with his coloring don’t you think?"
